Google Drive’s new features makes it easier to be organized

Google is rolling out three new features to help you organize your Google Drive folders. The new features will allow you to easily add files to your Drive and move them around once they are in your personal account. The new Google Drive features will be rolling out to all users from today.

If you are browsing through shared files that are not in your personal Google Drive account yet, you can hit the new ‘Add to Drive’ button. Alternatively, if the files are already in your Drive account, you will see a ‘Move’ icon allowing you to place the item into a particular folder.

When you are previewing any new files, you will see a Google Drive icon that will allow you to add the file to any specific folder in your Google Drive.

Google has also made it easier for you to move files into specific folders, by simply dragging the file you searched for and dropping it into a specific folder.

While Google Drive’s latest new features may not be groundbreaking, they should help you sort out your cluttered Drive quickly and easily.

To learn more Google Drive tips and to ensure you are properly securing the files that you share with friends and colleagues, read about Google’s Information Rights Management feature for Google Drive. Using the advanced sharing menu, the feature allows you to have additional security on the files you share by letting you disable downloading, printing and copying.
